Computer Science by
Blends basic computer science concepts and C language programming. The study of the language is presented as it applies to many different areas of computer science. Social perspectives, which highlight major events in the history of computer science, are included. The topics covered include everything from algorithms and artificial intelligence to human computer interfacing and operating systems. Each chapter begins with an essay posing a problem to be solved and ends with lab exercises for practicing what has been learned.
Cryptography and Network Security by
KEY BENEFIT: Stallings' Cryptography and Network Security, Seventh Edition, introduces the reader to the compelling and evolving field of cryptography and network security. In an age of viruses and hackers, electronic eavesdropping, and electronic fraud on a global scale, security is paramount. The purpose of this book is to provide a practical survey of both the principles and practice of cryptography and network security. In the first part of the book, the basic issues to be addressed by a network security capability are explored by providing a tutorial and survey of cryptography and network security technology. The latter part of the book deals with the practice of network security: practical applications that have been implemented and are in use to provide network security. The Seventh Edition streamlines subject matter with new and updated material -- including Sage, one of the most important features of the book. Sage is an open-source, multiplatform, freeware package that implements a very powerful, flexible, and easily learned mathematics and computer algebra system. It provides hands-on experience with cryptographic algorithms and supporting homework assignments. With Sage, the reader learns a powerful tool that can be used for virtually any mathematical application. The book also provides an unparalleled degree of support for the reader to ensure a successful learning experience. KEY TOPICS: Computer and Network Security Concepts; Introduction to Number Theory; Classical Encryption Techniques; Block Ciphers and the Data Encryption Standard; Finite Fields; Advanced Encryption Standard; Block Cipher Operation; Random Bit Generation and Stream Ciphers; Public-Key Cryptography and RSA; Other Public-Key Cryptosystems; Cryptographic Hash Functions; Message Authentication Codes; Digital Signatures; Key Management and Distribution; User Authentication Protocols; Network Access Control and Cloud Security; Transport-Level Security; Wireless Network Security; Electronic Mail Security; IP Security MARKET: For anyone interested in Cryptography and Network Security.
Computer Science by
This text introduces the reader to the design and analysis of algorithms. It teaches broad problem-solving skills alongside an introduction to algorithms. The author achieves this by using three unique features: a table of contents that is based on a more effective taxonomy of algorithm design techniques; a style of presentation that emphasizes understanding over excessively formal treatment; and extensive use of puzzles and exercises that motivate the presentation of the material.
In Quest of the Universe by
Thoroughly updated and revised, In Quest of the Universe, Fifth Edition, is the most comprehensive, one-semester introductory level astronomy text available. The authors' clear, concise writing style introduces non-science majors to the general methods of science. Students will discover how science progresses as they follow the development of early astronomical concepts through to the very latest refinement of our current models. A "planets first" approach engages them in an exploration of our own solar system, starting with a chapter on the "backyard" night sky, before introducing the latest information on the Pluto controversy and recent discoveries on Mars. The Fifth Edition's encompassing approach to astronomy and the scientific method makes this text essential for introductory astronomy courses.
Combinatorics for Computer Science by
Useful guide covers two major subdivisions of combinatorics — enumeration and graph theory — with emphasis on conceptual needs of computer science. Each part is divided into a "basic concepts" chapter emphasizing intuitive needs of the subject, followed by four "topics" chapters that explore these ideas in depth. Invaluable practical resource for graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and professionals with an interest in algorithm design and other aspects of computer science and combinatorics. References for Linear Order & for Graphs, Trees, and Recursions. 219 figures.
Computer Science Illuminated by
Using an onion as an analogy, this textbook for a CS-0 course walks through the function of each layer in a computer system. Dale (University of Texas) and Lewis (Villanova) describe the binary number system, the hardware components, the major programming languages, the operating system, software ap
Computer Science and Ambient Intelligence by
This book focuses on ambient intelligence and addresses various issues related to data management, networking and HCI in this context. Taking a holistic view, it covers various levels of abstraction, ranging from fundamental to advanced concepts and brings together the contributions of various specialists in the field. Moreover, the book covers the key areas of computer science concerned with the emergence of ambient intelligence (e.g. interaction, middleware, networks, information systems, etc.). It even goes slightly beyond the borders of computer science with contributions related to smart materials and ethics. The authors cover a broad spectrum, with some chapters dedicated to the presentation of basic concepts and others focusing on emerging applications in various fields such as health, transport and tourism.
